"Please wait a few more days."Although it's technically still fall, here at A Joyful Cottage winter has arrived. News tells us it's that way around most of the country. For me the time to quilt and enjoy other activities inside our cozy cottage has arrived.Coffee or tea anyone?

It's a gorgeous 75 degrees out right now here in AZ. Will be hovering around the upper 60's on Thanksgiving day. These are the months we live for here, the ones we can get outside and play while it is cool and bearable! Wishing you a warm and Happy Thanksgiving! Cindy xoxo

We have a snowy day here as well,,,,I have been making cards for Christmas presents and I really don't want to go outside, but have some errands to run on my day off. I bet you are just thrilled to be enjoying your cozy cottage!! So happy that you are all settled ! Happy Thanksgiving to you as well!!

Hi Nancy, It snowed too soon for me too. But thankfully ours is melting quickly. It should be gone by thanksgiving. It just came , a huge amount...for the first snow. That was the shocker, I think. Wishing you a beautiful thanksgiving day filled with love, xoxo,Susie

We just had our first "blizzard" and it was enough to create a "snow day" at home. Sleeping in, lazy morning, tree decorating and soup for dinner. Watching the snow fall and thankful for a warm and cozy home.

Hi Nancy,We got hit with that snow last week end. Over 14 inches. Most of it is going away with the weather warming up and rain coming in. It was a pretty first snow. Just too much all at once! Happy Thanksgiving.Kris

Cooler temps have finally reached s.e. FL.It's almost 6 a.m. and is 73, but feels like it is 69. Tonight it is supposed to be cooler and the high tomorrow 79, with showers off and on today and tomorrow. I am thankful for this respite from the long hot summer weather.

Your cottage looks so comforting, warm and cozy. I love Miss Pine with winter moving in. Your quilt is going to be oh so lovely.

Good morning dearest Nancy! OHHHHHH A cottage is the perfect place to experience the first snow fall. To sit and read, write, sew, create anything, that is what I LOVE to do when the first snow hits. Though we've had strangely mild and warm weather for November in Minnesota, a brief snow storm is due tonight. I'm going out this morning to get my turkey and trimmings so I'm ready to pop everything in the oven early tomorrow. Wishing you a cozy and happy holiday in your bright little cottage!

Yes, it is that time! I always think of all the projects I promised myself I'd do when the weather got colder! There are so many. Your quilt is absolutely gorgeous! I did not know you were a quilter. So much love and patience and time goes into each one I am sure.

Oh no! I am not ready for the snow either. It's so pretty, but I am not prepared for everything that comes along with it! Happy Thanksgiving my friend. Enjoy your comfy new abode during this chilly season. Seems like the perfect place to enjoy a cup of something warm. Wish we lived closer, I would certainly join you!! xxoo

80 degrees today but nice cool breeze. It is nice to open the windows and air out the house. Thanksgiving will be 75. Fall has finally come to Florida. Have a blessed Thanksgiving and enjoy quilting by the fire. Oh and I will take ICED Tea. :)

Sounds lovely, Nancy. We had our first snow last month, though it didn't stick around and then it got warmer for a bit. This last snow didn't last, but somehow I didn't mind. Maybe I'm ready for the quiet of winter (gets us closer to spring).

Welcome to A Joyful Cottage

For as long as I can remember I've loved cottages. These cozy places, with abundant flowers and sunshine, give me a sense of peace and contentment. Walking through the front door of a cottage one sees simple, timeless decor: fresh cut flowers in unexpected containers, vintage fabrics, painted furniture and well-worn books. This isn't a home where everything matches and that makes the rooms even more enchanting. They're decidedly and lovingly filled with whatever things bring joy to the inhabitants. Come with me and explore the beauty and simplicity of a cottage life, no matter where you live.
